Statewide Legislative Issues: Administrative Coordinator Whiting has a letter regarding the state tobacco litigation resolution(which St. Croix County is not participating in). The Committee would like to know how the State of Wisconsin is spending the tobacco money. They recommended that a copy of the letter be sent to Senator Clausing and Rep. Rhodes requesting a response be sent back. Redistricting: Planner Denzer was asked if she would briefly explain how the redistricting process works and what it entails at the June County Board Session. Denzer updated the committee on what is happening with redistricting to this point. Dates remain the same, March 1, 2001 we receive the numbers. Our first deadline date is June 30, 2001 and the 2nd date is August 31, 2001. She will work up some sample maps for the committee to study and compare showing 15 and 25 supervisory districts. Committee Structure: Chair Bieraugel would like to have input from the Board of Supervisors on how the committee structure could be streamlined and updated to best serve the County. This could be achieved with a survey. It could also be placed on all county committee agendas for discussion and input. Supr. O'Connell feels the whole structure needs to be looked at. He suggested that a separate Administration Committee meeting be held to discuss County Board Committee responsibilities. Supr. Standafer feels we need dialogue and participation from the entire 31 membership. A survey would work. UNOFFICIAL RECORD Bieraugel asked if Administrator Whiting could draft a simple basic survey for the 31 supervisors. This way we would have input prior to a special Administration Committee meeting. He agreed to do so. Whiting shared a state wide county comparison of committees with the group. He also shared various forms of county government. The group will study these and review again at next months meeting. Campaign Finance Reform: Chair Bieraugel would like to support a resolution in favor of campaign finance reform. Whiting will get more information and input from our Senator and Representatives for a future meeting. We need our legislators support on this issue. Sample county resolutions supporting Campaign Finance Reform were passed out. A Legislative Breakfast is scheduled for July 17th at the Health Center. This issue could be discussed with them at that time. Name Change: The committee will direct Corporation Counsel to draw up a resolution renaming Emergency Government, Emergency Management. It will then be brought before County Board for their approval. Motion by O'Connell, 2"d by Peterson to adjourn. Meeting adjourned at 10:23 A.M. Thomas P.
